Democrats counter with their own Spanish ad, praising Obama and blasting GOP

Democrats are out with their own Spanish-language ad, which praises President Obama and accuses Republicans of wanting to sacrifice Medicare to pay for tax cuts for the super wealthy.

In addition to Denver, the ads will run in the following media markets: Reno, Las Vegas, Tampa, Orlando, Miami, Albuquerque, and Washington D.C., according to the Democratic National Committee.

“What the country needs is the continued leadership of President Obama, who is focused like a laser on creating jobs and moving our country forward,” DNC chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz said in a statement.

The ads are aimed at countering Spanish commercials from American Crossroads GPS, an arm of a conservative third party organization connected to Karl Rove.

“While the special interest-funded Crossroads tries to hide the fact that the Republican Party would end Medicare as we know it to pay for tax cuts for the very rich, and is supporting a budget plan that would roll back our economic progress and place additional burdens on seniors and the middle class, the administration’s record is clear,” Schultz said.

“President Obama has been focused from day one on strengthening economic security for working and middle class families. That’s why he extended health insurance to millions of children, expanded financial aid for our youth and cut taxes for the middle class.”

VO: We know who to trust, and who we can’t. Because it’s our job to protect our families.

Here’s the Crossroads’ ad:

“I supported President Obama because he spoke so beautifully, but since then things have gone from bad to much worse,” a woman says in the English version of the ad. “He said spending hundreds of billions on a stimulus would create more jobs, but now all we’ve got is a lot more debt and more people out of work.”

definitely a tie breaker.The SUN people (Spanish,Colored, and Indian) will vote the Great O’bama in once again.Start crying now, Boehner.Arizona will be the laughing stock of the world.They axed for it.

This ad is nothing but out and lies. The Republicans do not want to take away medicare from seniors. Obamers record is a complete failure. He has not improved things in this country he and the Dems have made things worse than ever. They’re taking this country down and voting for them is saying that you too want to take the country down.
